2018–19 Southern Football League
The 2018–19 season is the 116th in the history of the Southern League since its establishment in 1894. The league has two Premier divisions at step 3 of the National League System and two Division One divisions at step 4 of the NLS.
This is the first season to consist of four divisions in the league, following a shakeup of the Southern, Isthmian, and Northern Premier Leagues divisions by geographical region. The Southern League was chosen to create a new division at Step 3; the 21 clubs remaining from the Premier Division the previous season were split into two new Premier divisions; Central and South. The league constitution was announced in May 2018.
